The other woman on the move

A small group of the club met Wed 5-24 to head N to the BC bus nut rally
Cranes- Harpers & bus nuts ralleybut first we had to do a field repair on one of
Harpers new tires!! The group rolled right Seattle with little traffic woes.
Stopped the first night at the Tulatip indain casino, still free parking and
a OK buffet.
 The 2nd day was a short run [60] miles to the Swinomish casino with good
RV parking over looking the bay. The guys and girls split here girls to
LaConner to do their thing and the guys to a hot rod they had spotted on
the way in and then ended up back in LaConner to look at John Waynes
first yacht.
 Day 3 took us towards the Sumus border crossing with all their traffic
circle.Crossing went quite well even after getting in the wrong line to
cross. 304 miles later we arrived at the BC bus nuts ralley in kamloops
B C at the Silver Sage RV park along the Thompson river and brought
the bus count to 19.The event was no host so that gave us time to look
around the area. Great group would go back again !!!!
 Monday the group split Harper had to head home. Cranes & Goldbees
decided to go farther N and explore the area around Revelstoke BC.
From there SE to Gelana Bay and a free ferry boat ride across the
Upper Arrow Lake and the little Indian town of Nakusp a few miles
down the road we were able to get into the Summit Lake Prov. Camp
grounds.  With a beautiful space backed up right to the lake with the
clearest water.
From Summit Lake we headed on down 6S New Denver then headed
E on 31A.  Was quite a climb.  The streams were running over their banks
from the melting snow packs and the water falls were just crashing down.
The road pretty much following the river as it gets bigger to empty into
Kootenay Lake at Kaslo BC.
We were able to find another BC state campground type at Kokanee Creek.
Great parks.  After arriving Tom had to do some electrical work to get power
to their coach. The group decided to stay another night so we could check
out the area around Nelson. Viewed the old homes and stone architectural
churches and courthouses built on a really steep hillside.  From there the
group went back to Kaslo to look at the old town and buildings dating back
to the late 1800's and to take a tour of the SS Moyie;the world's oldest intact
passenger sternwheeler built in 1898 and worked until 1957 in that area being
one of the smaller sternwheelers weighing in at 834.7 tons.
Thursday headed home to the good ole USA.  Incoming border crossing went
well and was able to roll into Pat and Ann Horn's (some more Bus Nuts) in
Spokane for a visit and layover.
